The Warren family are excited to be making our annual trans atlantic voyage to London for the UK Rumfest which takes place at the London Excel Centre in the Docklands on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 October. As usual we will also have a barrel of St Nicholas Abbey rum with us all the way from sunny Barbados.

Yesterday, staff of the legendary Sandy Lane Hotel paid a trip to St Nicholas Abbey and were looked after by Heather.

Heather says "We had a visit from some of the Sandy Lane Staff yesterday. They were out for the day
touring various attractions in Barbados and we thank them for including St Nicholas Abbey in their itinerary.
I enjoyed showing them around and extended an invitation for them to return, especially when we start our grinding of the sugar cane.'

We are excited to launch our new St Nicholas Abbey pewter flasks available to buy at the plantation for 120 Barbados Dollars. Limited stock available so be sure to get yours soon and watch this space for more St Nicholas Abbey products coming!

Our new White rum which was awarded the Bronze Medal at the 2012 International Wine and Spirits Competition in London, the highest medal awarded in its category, is now available to purchase at our plantation in Barbados.
